I take rocket photos and you can see them @aWildLupi

I have a terminal case of bovine pungiform encephalopathy, the bovine puns are cowmpulsory

they/them/moo where "moo" stands in for "you" or where it's funny, like "how are moo today, Lupi?" or "dancing with mooself"

alright now that i'm home i can reassure you that the eepy (as i am calling it) is home as well (i took it back out of the trash on reconsideration)

i dropped it into the garbage because i was mad at how much of a nerd it was being. no, get out of here. you can't tell me it's not off-scale-dorky for an eeepc 1000 to have a working battery and haiku installed. that means someone was using this up until uncomfortably-recently. it's lucky i didn't give it a wedgie; i have instead brought it home to do masculine, respectable things like "make it boot express gate from an SD card against its wishes"

Oh My Holy God Really

  1. yes, whoever had this before me was just. using haiku. as a daily driver. there's just Files on here. i know it's bad of me to poke through their stuff instead of wiping the disk right away but i genuinely expected it to be absolutely bone stock and did not expect there to be files. i have never heard of anyone actually using haiku. kind of shaken by this news

  2. oh my god they didn't even wipe the disk before installing the recovery partition is still here what Type of Guy owned this he clearly wasn't a nerd did someone tell their dad to install haiku we need to start a manhunt

i should also install haiku on something... and i have the same eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy in my drawer with working battery (because i got a new one [bc i wanted to put emulators on it and let LO1 play with it, but it's more usefull as a large heavy wedge in my drawer])

on second look: my eeepy has a different keyboard, proper laptop keykaps... on seconed thought: i guess i would rather install 9front on it than haiku...

I feel like I've done that at least Once, like I installed a clean copy of Windows 7 but left the recovery partition intact in case there was something Special™ about that particular version of Windows 7 that I simply wouldn't be able to get working right on a clean install

I am in the unenviable position of being a Haiku fan with not enough general-purpose computers surrounding me that I can justify installing Haiku on one of them.

  • The Mac mini is currently in reserve until I buy an SSD and summon the nerve to gut the thing to install it, at which point I will have to decide between using sources and methods to install Ventura or installing some strain of Linux, but Haiku fails as a daily driver for me due to the lack of Discord.
  • The PC is for games, and therefore runs Windows.

assuming gender is bad but assuming no usb boot drive is awful. maybe they were running an "it works" on it, and keeping dumps in an automounted directory and backups in a partial mirror? the internal os would be for low battery usage writing and emails.

of course, i did that, until i couldn't keep it up as i burned out one usb trying to optimise minecraft and secondlife memory usage, and corrupted another usb trying to mount it on some ntfs-centric os (never touched the stuff since).

my actual guess though, is your eeepc was rejected once an update overwrote the broadcom configuration. again.
